" American Eagle pilots hired under a settlement agreement will not be subjected to a pre-employment interview or pre-employment medical examination prior to transferring to American."

Care to elaborate on this? Sounds not so guaranteed to me?

And they kept their previous flow rights. Nothing changed for those on their list. Go on?

Fyi this is sarcasm......

Sorry "US Airways" airlines ... And before all the accounting shuffle stuff back in the day American eagle in its yearly reports that it was a billion dollar company... Not that it made a billion in profit ... Yeah I wrote that wrong

At Eagle we have different FT.

First, there are 240ish pilots who are currently getting the call to AA. These pilots are already on the seniority list at AA, AE can't withhold them and around half these guys will go and will be gone by April.

Second, there is the 824. This came from a settlement when AA had the flow backs, this is not a contract flow or something management gave AE, this came from an arbitrator and AE, AA, ALPA and APA had to come up with minor details and a structure for the flow. This was done a year ago and management must meet with ALPA in the next month to discuss what happens with the merger in essence if they will continue to hire. As long as AA hires they have to take 1 AE captain for every off street new hire to minimum of 20 as long as the class is large enough.

Third, this is the one that is similar to the other FT around, this is called the preferential hiring and covers the guys on the list hired till Oct 2011. This was an agreement between AA and AE, this has language for mergers and other stuff and but is the weakest of them all and I am not sure how it would stand if management did not want to honor it.

The first three AMR has no choice but honor it as guys are on the list and the other is a ruling and ordered from the courts. The third, I am not holding my breath on.
